Yesterday was anything but n g-ood rnclng day , us the wind blew llttlo less tlmn a gale , and the temperature was much lower than is conducive to fast time. Notwithstanding heso facts , a good sized crowd assembled at Jnlon park to witness the speed contest that md been arranged for the afternoon. Sov- crnl changes were announced in the pro gramme , the 2I3 : ! trot being declared off mill next Saturday , on account of the $ . " > 00 flvo-imlo match race , which was expressly to nlto place between Omaha horses. The Judges were Theodore Uray , Colonel W. F. Sapp and Colonel U. 11. Dalley. riiomaa Hswniun and J. T.

They drew positions as follows : Donovan , . 'mine Queen and Uoo Frnim. These posl- Ions were held to the finish. The race was very Interesting , the horses running well to- getner throughout.

Ashby , entered by Win. llntts , third ; .lltn Pnxton , entered by J. L. Pnxton. fourth ; Golddust , entered by Dr. F. S. Seyhcrt , fifth. The llrst heat wns n very fair exhibi tion of trotting , pacing and running. Ashby took first honors on the trotting , Hilly on the pacing and 1'om on the running. Gold- lust proved to bo first-rate trailer and hold .lint position to the llntsh. The race was be tween Hilly and Asliby. The former waa very speedy and in good condition , and had things his own way. Ho won easily in 2:53 : , Ashby second , Pnxton third. Tom fourth. There were but four starters in the second heat , GoldUust being drawn. It wns a line race between 11 Illy , Ashby and Paxton.

Mr. Wells and iMr. Butts wore each presented with a line whip by Manager Lsie.v , of the Driving Park association. When the llvo-mllo race wus called , it w\s ( found that that only one of the horses was on the grounds , Ben having failed to put in nn appearance. Wild Irishman , driven by Scott McCoy , wns accordingly started alone. Ho paced the llvo miles in 18iSJ : ! , uud was Riven the race. It was found that the programme wns lit tle short , and It was decided to call the 3:35 : class. There were but throe starters , Mon- tacollo , entered byMattHarlo : Mary F. , en tered by Wade Carev : and Hilly Mont , en tered by Charles Wilson. They drew positions In the order named. Mary F took the heat m'JiCSJi' , Montacello second , Hilly Mont third. The crowd began to leave alter this heat , ns the .wind was altogether too cold for comfort.

Heretofore , a few men have boon engaged In the matter , but there has been no general expression.

Jailer Galvln was sitting quietly reading THE Bnn In the marshal's ofllco when a slight noise caused him to look up. Ha was startled to see standing before him a swarthy individual , hatless , coatless and bwt'.eis. A shirt , originally white , was displayed in full outside ttic pantaloons. "Whence came you and what do you want ? " "Nowhere , and don't want nothing. " As soon as the jailer could recover from his surprise ho showed the visitor to a back coll. The fellow w.is evidently crazy. Investigation led to the revelation that his niunu was Fletcher , and that he was unfortunate In having him run over by a dummy train , mid thereby lost a portion tion of his brains. Silica then ho has bzon at times so crazy that he smashed furniture and made his wretched home still moro so. Ho has about $400 in the bank , so ho is not suffering for lack of funds. Nevertheless ho has been sent to the county jail for twenty days as a "vagrant , " that being deemed the easiest way to dispose of him. Tlio Daznnr The Catholic bazaar closed last evening. It was ono of tbo most successful evenings in the way of patronage and pleasure had during the week. The closing hours were spent in drawing the articles donated bv the charitable people of the city. St. Bernard's ' hospital is the gainer by fully $1,200 by this effort , RUSSIAN POLICE. Tlio Important Part. They Play in the Government , of the Kmpire. From George Itanium's article in the April Century is taken the following : "Thoro is probably no country in the world where the public power occupies a wider Held , plays a more important part , or touches the private personal lifo of the citi/.on at more points than it does in Kussia. In a country like Eng land or the United States , where the uooplo are the governing power , the functions of the people are simple and clearly dollnod , and uro limited , for the most part , to the prevention or the detection of crime and the maintenance of order in public places. In Hussla , however , where the people are not the governing power but hold to that power the relation of an infant ward to a guar dian , the police occupy a very dilToront and much moro important position. "Tho theory upon which the govern ment of Russia proceeds is Unit the citi zen is not only incapable of taking part in the management of the affairs of the country , his province , or his district , but is incompetent to manage oven the affairs of his own household ; and that , from the time when lie leaves his cradle and begins the struggle of lifo down to the time when his weary gray head is finally laid under the sod , ho must bo guided , directed , instructed , restrained , repressed , regulated , fenced in , fenced out , braced up , kept up , and made to do generally what somebody else thinks IB host for aim. The natural outcome of this paternal theory of crovornment is the concentration of all administrative authority in the hands of a few high of ficials and an enormous extension of power. Matters that in other countries are loft to the discretion of the indi vidual citizen , or to the judgment of u email group of cltix.ons , are regulated in Russia by the minister of the interior through the imporal police. If you are a Russian , and wish to establish a news paper , you must ask the permission of the minister of the interior. If you wish to open a Sunday-school , or any other sort of school , whether in u nog- loctad slum of St. Petersburg or in a native village in Kamchatka , yon must ubk the minister of public instruction. If you wish to fflvo n co c Bt or to got up tableaux for the bonoflf 5T nn orphan nsyl'J"1J'PU JiHlt Rot pornilsslon of the nearest representative $ f the minister of the interior , then suu.'S ! * A" ° ur pro gramme of exercises to a pbnsbroi1 / ap proval or revision , and finally hand over Lho proceeds of the entertainment to the police , to bo embodied ! or given to the orphan asylum , us If may nappoii. If you wish to sell nowptvpors on the street , you must got porjnlgpion , bo rcp- istcrod in the booics of tha. police , and wear n numbered brass plate ns big as n saucer around your nook * If you wish to open a drug store , u printing ollico , a photograph gallery , or ft" book store , you must gotportnissioh. If you tire u photographer and desire lo change the location of your plnco of business you must got permission. If you nro a stu dent and go to n public library to con sult Lyoll-s 'Principles of Geology , ' or Sponsor's 'Social Slntlo's , ' you will find that you cannot oven look at sunh dan- porous and incendiary volumes without special permission. If you 'tiro a phys ician you must got permission before you can practice , and then if you do not wish to respond to calls in the night you must have permission to refuse to go ; furthermore if you wish to prescribe what are known in Kussla us 'powerfully noting' medicines , you must have special permission , or the drutrgist will not dare to Jill your porscriptions. If yon are n peasant and wish to build a bath house on your promises , you must get permission. If you wish to thrash out your grain in the evening by candle light , you must got permission or bribe the police. If you wish to go more than fifteen miles away from your homo , you must got pormision. If you are a for eign traveler you must get permission to come into the empire , permission to go out if it , permission to stay in It longer than six months , and you must notify the police ovcry time you change your boarding-place. In short , you can not live , move , or have your being in the Russian empire without permis sion. ' ' _ OLD JULY'S BONES. /VGlintitly / Kf mliilHOfiiioj ! * ol'tlio Days of PcMjioruilo Hruli * . "Kvoryboily , " says the Luslc Wyo. , Herald , "lin * heard of 'Old Jules' the Frenchman for whom the town of .lules- burg wtis named , llo got into a dilll- culty with the notorious Skidd , and the latter got the drop on him when he was sick in bed , tool : him out and tied him to a post tit the old 'Rock ranch , ' a sta tion on the old overland stage line , eighteen miles below Fort Lurainio , on the Platte river. The inhuman Slndo then cilt oil' Jules' uiiratind shot him full of holes. "lie did not kill his man with the first few shots , but put holes through his ex tremities llrst , and kupt the poor Frenchman in agony for an hour or two before ho dispatched him. "Slado carried his victim's cars in his pockets until they became dry , n.nd often displayed them in salooiiK , and it in said ho once pawned them for the drinks in Cheyenne. Slado was a hard customer , and' killed many 111911 , 'but/ ' / with Jinally taken out by a Montana' vigilance com mittee and hung.

T.lipro , can bo little doubt of their identity. . , 't In truth Sltulc was "dead. tough. " ' lie was "bad1to a superlative degree , cold blooded , pitiless , dishoncsbmnd a gamb ler and drunkard. ILSihud nol'thd least respect for anyone , no consideration for the rights of others and until a few minutes - utos before Ins death never evidenced fear. Ho was the worst desperado on the frontier. Many Cheyenne men know Sladc well and a number' including Judge Leo and Capt. N. J. O'Brien , were on the Platte contemporaneously with Slado and the iiiifortunato Julc. As the story goes Sladc insulted the Fronohnnni and the latter "laid for liim" with a shotyuu and improved an opportunity to add about a pound of buckshot to Sladu's advoirdupoisc. When the latter recovered he at once called on the Frenchman , and after shooting him full of holes .and cutting oT ! his ears killed the fqruignor. No attempt was made to punish Slado for this murder. a Win. High , the deceased ox-sherill' C'arbon ' county , was present at the Slado lynching at Virginia City , Montana. Ho told an interesting story of the allair. Slado and his gang were in the habit of raiding the town in the regulation Colo- rddo cowboy style and kept killing people and damaging property until the citizens declared themselves. They captured the desperado on his next visit and proceeded to business. Slado was defiant until ho became convinced that the men were in earnest. Then ho weakened and was strung up with prayers for morcy.on his lips. Merely : i Qiicsiiori of Time. Now York World : First Humorists ( sadly ) This funny business is very trying.
